Podcast Rubric for Standards- Based Student Learning

In a previous post, I complained that most podcast rubrics were did not focus primarily on standards. Here’s one I created

Demonstrate the standard by starting with an essential question, or starting with “How does”and a statement from the standard

Do an in-depth analysis by using several words such as the causes of, because of, the consequences of, the impact on, and the present day implications.

Provide a comprehensive analysis by connecting to other essential standard vocabulary within the key component such as latitude, longitude, map scale for the Geography Standard.

Connect the key component to other key components in the standard such as connecting the key component of chronological thinking with historical comprehension, historical analysis and interpretation, historical research capabilities, and historical issues-analysis and decision-making from the National History Standards.

Connect the key component to another standard such as connecting the history standard of “changes in transportation over time” to the geographical standard and the economics standard.

Do world language students use technology n the classroom? Do their teachers go beyond having their students use technology simply for the drill and practice in vocabulary and grammar? Students can use laptops and mobile devices to hear authentic language, read authentic texts, read tweets about famous performers, see up-to-the-moment culture, watch video […]

The idea of digital badges sounds appealing for the digital children in classes. As teachers start thinking about digital badges, they have to figure out what badges will be awarded. The teachers can award social or academic badges. If teachers decide to use academic badges, then the teachers may base their badges on the Common […]
